SOUTHERNMOST POINT GUEST HOUSE & GARDEN BAR, Key West

Key West International Airport is 10-15 minutes by taxi or rideshare, and the Key West Express dock is about 2 km away. The property sits within easy walking distance of Hemingway House (6 blocks), Mallory Square, Fort Zachary Taylor, Higgs Beach, and scores of shops and restaurants along Duval Street. Bicycle rental is available on site, and the area is flat and walkable, making a car optional for most sightseeing. Free parking is a major advantage in this otherwise parking-scarce area. The location is quiet by 10 pm but remains lively with tourist foot traffic during the day.

Room types range from economy queen rooms to spacious suites with separate living areas and porches. Some rooms (e.g., Room 5 and Room 6) offer ocean or Southernmost Point views and come with stoves. Upper-floor units are quieter and more private, while ground-floor rooms open onto the garden or patio and can be visible to bar patrons. Rooms are air-conditioned, include a flat-screen TV with cable, a safety deposit box, and adjustable A/C. Beds are consistently described as very comfortable. Some rooms have balconies or small patios. Single-level rooms are available on the first floor for those avoiding stairs.

Breakfast includes scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns, biscuits and gravy, cereal, muffins, toast, bagels, fruit, coffee, and tea-served buffet-style or, more recently, via a pre-order sheet brought to your garden table. The on-site bar (open 11 am-7 pm) offers draft beer, house wine, soda, or water with your daily free drink ticket, as well as a full cocktail menu. The Lobster Shack Key West food truck is parked on the property, serving seafood, local, and Latin American cuisine for brunch, lunch, dinner, and cocktail hour. For those preferring to eat out, numerous restaurants are within a 0.3-0.5 km walk including Frenchies Cafe, Banana Cafe, and Camille's Restaurant.

The outdoor swimming pool is heated and open year-round, though it is compact (approximately 15x8 ft) and functions more as a spa-sized pool with jets. Sun loungers and pool/beach towels are provided free of charge, and a fence surrounds the pool area. The garden features picnic tables, outdoor furniture, and a terrace. Live music or performances are often scheduled at the bar in the afternoons (free to enjoy). Bicycle rental is available for an additional charge, making it easy to explore the island. There is no spa or dedicated fitness centre on site.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. Parking is free and private, with accessible spaces available; no reservation is needed. Luggage storage is offered free of charge. Daily housekeeping is available but not automatic; rooms are prioritized for check-outs first, so guests may need to request servicing. Laundry service is provided for an additional fee. The front desk can assist with tour bookings and offers private check-in/check-out. Safety features include key access, CCTV, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers. A safety deposit box is free in each room. The property is non-smoking throughout, with a designated smoking area outside. Air conditioning and heating are standard in all rooms.
